You can make up for forgetting to put back my changes to the board section of the main page by writing yourself a bio! --Tango 19:51, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
- Done. :) Now, onto business: /me goes scouting for a brick... Mike Peel 20:53, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
- I've printed the form, I've filled the form... I still need to write the cheque (which involves finding my cheque book, hence the delay!), address the envelope, put the form and cheque in it and post it. So 2 out of 6... I'm getting there! --Tango 21:00, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
- Great. :) I'm glad all potential members aren't as difficult as you... ;-) Mike Peel 23:44, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
- Well, I have to do something to stop these crazy rumours about getting me on the board... You'll be pleased to hear I have found my cheque book, written the cheque, addressed an envelope, put everything in it, sealed it and put a stamp on it. Now, it should only be a couple more weeks before I remember to post it! --Tango 00:20, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Target list
Just thought of some new photo ideas for it:
These deserve to be increased a bit more, in my opinion, as the lack of coverage of those on Commons is a weak point. I would take the photos, but I currently don't have the time do such things myself. I'm sure there are some people who would happily do this for Wikimedia UK's target list. Just a thought/suggestion. --Kexford 16:24, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for the suggestions. I take it that this was referring to Britain Loves Wikipedia? If so, I'm not sure that these targets are appropriate - BLW focuses on taking photographs of objects within museums - although something along the lines of Wikipedia Takes Manhattan might work well for this.

Liverpool Library Wikimedia Presentation Day
Please could someone mention this at the next meeting, I feel this may be of interest if it can be organized properly. --Kexford 20:08, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
RE: Liverpool Central Library
I don't have any connections with the library itself, but it is the city's major library, and next door to an art gallery and aquarium, so photos could be taken for the photo project, and (although I'm not certain) I believe they have done presentations there in the past.
I suppose, with the amount of references they have in book/newspaper etc. format, in theory, a collective editing day could happen with photos going to Commons and a page on here? --Kexford 09:48, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

You might want to delete this page, it appears to be vandalism. Camaron · Christopher · talk 17:39, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
Press releases/Free online news
What is to be done about this release? Has it already gone out, or has it been abandoned? Microchip08 14:47, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
- It's not gone out yet, but it's not abandoned - it's in limbo until we find a suitable occasion to send it out. It's unlikely to be covered as a news item on its own, but if it goes out at the same time as someone e.g. announces that they're putting up a paywall then it might get covered at the same time.

Username change
I am not aware of any page on this project to request renames, but since you are a bureaucrat, I thought I should ask you directly. For various reasons I am having my username changed across Wikimedia Projects. If possible, could please change my username from Camaron to CT Cooper. Here is proof that I control the CT Cooper account name. Thanks in advance. Camaron · Christopher · talk 20:09, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
- Hello. I've renamed your account - you're now User:CT Cooper. Thanks. Mike Peel 20:18, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you for the quick response. Camaron · Christopher · talk 21:55, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Be careful - the majority of my stuff is from material in my own collection. The Rob Roy image, although now removed, has no connection to any institutional archive. 86.165.143.94 06:17, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
Update
Mike, your WMUK position is in need of an update. Charles Matthews 10:35, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
- If you're meaning the one on my user page, that's now updated; thanks. If you're meaning a different one, could you let me know which? ;-) Thanks. Mike Peel 11:19, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi Mike, I just wanted to let you know that the comments footer already exists at Template:Newsletter/Comments footer. Is it worth merging them or something? Thanks, Rock drum (talk • contribs) 09:46, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
Yes, they probably should be merged. I didn't realize that the template already existed, as it wasn't in use on the pages. Thanks. Mike
